Testimony of Mute Things licensed to Blackstone Audio
I'm very pleased to report that the most recent Penric & Desdemona novella, "Testimony of Mute Things", has just been licensed to Blackstone Audiobooks for its usual production. Narrator is again expected to be Grover Gardner.
No, I don't know when it will emerge from the other end of the production pipeline; prior experience suggests 2 to 6 months, probabilities leaning to the shorter end.
Re-using Ron Miller's art, which they've been doing for a while, should help speed things up on their vendor-page assembly. I've no idea what arcana is involved in recording, except I'm glad it's them and not me.
Subterranean Press has also offered for the novella. They'll have a much longer lead-time, probably into 2027, so breath-holding is contraindicated. I did get a look at Lauren Saint-Onge's final art for their upcoming "The Adventure of the Demonic Ox", which is particularly lovely this round. Publication sometime in the first half of 2026, I don't have a date yet. (Or the 1300 tip sheets to be signed, another necessary precursor. That will be a nice brainless task for this winter.)

Thanks for the update Lois. As always, looking forward to adding the Sub Press editions to my collection.
Thank you very much for the updates! It's great to have a rough timeline to expect for the Subterranean Press editions, and I'm glad as always to see Grover Gardner continuing to provide his excellent audiobook narration.
Blackstone has release dates of Dec 16, 2025 on Audible and Feb 14, 2026 on Downpour. This jibes with the release of The Demonic Ox book earlier this year, which was an Audible exclusive for the first 60 days.
